Working on the car in the cold is definitely no fun. When I had my '89 Accord - which needed much more mechanical attention than the Firefly - I used to do a flurry (no pun intended) of maintenance tasks in the late fall in the hopes it would go through winter with no trouble.

Even just checking tire pressure when it's -10 isn't a pleasant little chore.
